I haven't got one. (Well, the Thunderhawk's offset sound hole in the upper bout functions like one, but apart from that.) I usually just sit in front of a plate glass window and let the reflected sound blast back at me.

I pondered a G45 for a short while as a cheaper acoustic and then watched this teardown and got a Taylor GP
With the Gibson G45 it's not the siund port that puts me off.
Done properly, it supplies to the player's ears some of the missing frequencies that the audience can hear, i.e. restoring the balance of what the guitar should sound like. Done wrong (e.g. with too large a hole), it can make the sound unbalanced (e,g too much mids)
The interior section showing the bracing not even touching the sides was shocking. Talk about trading on a name! You would hope Gibson would up their game here after this exposure, but I bet they don't.
Funnily enough I played one of these a month or so ago in GG. I sometimes browse but rarely try one out. I had about 10 mins with it and didn't compare it with anything else (I wasn't buying).
I will say it played well and sounded quite decent - let's say it was interesting. I thought the finish wasn't great. My tuppence worth.
I don't suffer from GAS any more, I reckon I have enough trouble playing what I've got!
